Yes I believe that you may be entitled to unemployment benefits ONLY if you can prove that you were treated unfairly, or you are in an un-safe environment. You must have documentation of the following to be entitled.

if you resign voluntarily, you can't get unemployment.

YES......you are NOT eligible for these benefits.

Unfortunately the answer to this one is 'yes'. You will most likely be denied unemployment benefits for voluntarily resigning despite the circumstances behind it. Sorry about that!

okay even if the employer choses not to contest benefits it does not guarantee benefits. Basically, based on the reason for you resignation does no sound like you tried to resolve these issues prior to quitting. If you tried to resolve these issues what proof do you have? basically you quit in lieu of being terminated.

I love my man

to get unemployment benefits you have to either be fired or laid-off. you cannot get them if you voluntarily quit. sorry.

To get paid you need to get fired. Stick it out or force them to fire you OR use the time to find another job, that might be the best way. Otherwise let the boss know that you can't collect and maybe you could get a severance package.

Typically, to receive these benefits you must be fired or laid off. By voluntarily resigning, you are in theory giving up a perfectly good job, and as such are not entitled to these benefits. Sorry to hear about your scummy boss!
